Hello All,
Under the section of "Adverbial Modifiers" in the Manhattan GMATs book, the sentence .... "The group arrived in New Orleans and decided to stay in a fancy hotel a week before Mardi-Gras"
This sentence is rewritten correctly as, "The group arrived in new Orleans a week before Mardi-Gras and decided to stay in a fancy hotel".
I get the point here, but why is the original sentence even required to be modified. In other words, why would a statement like that seem wrong for me to correct it. In the context, which is unknown to the reader, the group probably arrived 2 weeks prior to Mardi-Gras and a week before Mardi-Gras they might have decided to stay in a fancy hotel.
Is the sentence grammatically wrong in the first place? If not why am I even thinking of correcting it as it is quite subjective to the context.
I might be completely mistaken here, can someone help me with his/her comments on the same.
Thank you
